Infant mortality is a big reason our life expectancy is so low. Which is connected to how hard it is to see a doctor for lower income people.

Can confirm. Canadians eat like trash and are only 1 year below Italy.
Somebody I know was watching that TV show with Zac Efron claiming the people in an Itallian Village lived longer. I looked it up and that whole area has a lower percentage of elderly than average EU nations.
The Mediterranean diet doesn't exist, these countries have longer life expectancies because they're bad at reporting deaths and their governments think that they have a bunch of 110 year olds.
Of course, the dropping life expectancy in the US is almost certainly due to depression and lack of healthcare.
